The triumph of the movement fundamentally reconfigured the cultural landscape and familial structures of the United States, propelling a vast influx of women into the labor force;
該運動的勝利從根本上重塑了美國的文化景觀與家庭結構,促使大批女性湧入勞動力市場;
Nevertheless, advocates persist in their struggle against the entrenched gender pay gap, the scourge of sexual harassment, and the systemic underrepresentation of women in corporate echelons and the political arena.

In 2022, the Supreme Court overturned the 1973 ruling in Roe v. Wade, thereby abolishing the constitutional safeguard for abortion rights; since then, thirteen states have enacted either total or near-total prohibitions.
2022年,最高法院推翻了1973年羅訴韋德案的裁決,廢除了憲法對墮胎權的保障;此後,已有十三個州實施全面性或近乎全面性的禁令。
Four additional states have imposed bans on abortion after approximately six weeks of gestation—a juncture that frequently precedes a woman's awareness of her own pregnancy.
另有四個州則在妊娠約六週後禁止墮胎,此一時間點往往早於女性察覺自身受孕之際。
Steinem decried this as a regression of democracy; yet for Christian conservative activists, it constituted a resplendent triumph, further galvanizing a movement advocating the embrace of traditional gender roles, which repeatedly ascribed the precipitous decline in birth rates, the escalation of divorce rates, and the erosion of the values of marriage and motherhood to the ascendancy of the feminist movement.
史坦能稱此舉為民主之倒退;然對基督教保守派運動人士而言,此乃一項輝煌勝利,並進一步助長了一股倡導男女擁抱傳統性別角色之風潮,該風潮屢屢將出生率之頹降、離婚率之攀升,以及婚姻與母職價值之式微,悉數歸咎於女權運動之興起。
Through policy discourse and rhetorical framing, officials of the Trump administration—Vice President J.D. Vance among them—together with influential conservative organizations, have orchestrated a social movement aimed at impelling young women to marry earlier, augment their fertility, and elevate familial values above professional aspirations.
透過政策論述與言辭修辭,川普政府官員——包括副總統J·D·凡斯——連同具影響力的保守派團體,已策動一場社會運動,旨在鼓動年輕女性及早締結婚姻、擴增生育數量,並將家庭價值凌駕於職涯追求之上。
"The feminist movement has impelled the public to regard marriage and family as subordinate pursuits warranting demotion, a development that has wrought profound detriment upon both sexes," declared Delano Squires;
女權運動促使社會大眾將婚姻與家庭視為次要的追求,並應予以降級處置,此舉對兩性而言皆構成深遠的戕害,」德拉諾·史奎爾斯如是表示;
He is the co-author of the Heritage Foundation report "Saving America by Saving the Family," which laments that "the damage wrought upon American family life by misguided public policies of the 1960s was compounded by cultural upheaval that utterly subverted the social norms governing sex, sexual orientation, marriage, children, and gender roles."
此君係傳統基金會報告《透過拯救家庭來拯救美國》之共同撰述者,該報告痛陳「1960年代失當之公共政策對美國家庭生活所造成的破壞,復因文化動盪而益形加劇,此等動盪徹底顛覆了圍繞性、性傾向、婚姻、子女及性別角色等面向之社會規範。」
The report further proffers a series of recommendations, including the establishment by Congress of investment accounts for men and women who enter into matrimony before the age of thirty, each endowed with a deposit of two thousand five hundred dollars.
此份報告亦提出數項建議,其中涵蓋國會為三十歲前締結婚姻之男女分別設立投資帳戶,並存入兩千五百美元。
The report's other co-author, Emma Waters, an analyst at the Heritage Foundation, has ascended to prominence as an influential voice among young conservative Christians, levying criticism against what she perceives as a career-centric culture engendered by the feminist movement, which she contends is inimical to women's well-being.
該報告之另一位共同作者為艾瑪·華特斯,其身為傳統基金會之分析師,業已崛起為年輕保守派基督徒群體中具影響力之聲量,並對其所認定由女權運動所催生之事業優先文化提出批判,認為此種文化對女性福祉實屬有害。
"In the present age, the most flagrant act of defiance a twenty-eight-year-old woman can exhibit is to adopt her husband's surname and embrace, with magnanimous grace, the divine endowment of motherhood," she thus wrote.
「在當今之世,一名二十八歲女性所能展現最離經叛道之舉,莫過於從夫姓並以寬闊胸襟擁抱母職這份天賜厚禮,」她如是寫道。
Steinem herself never bore children, and she candidly avowed that she harboured no regret over this decision, deeming it a judicious course for others as well.
史坦能自身從未生育,她坦言對此決定從無悔意,並稱之為對他人而言亦屬明智之舉。
She has ceaselessly championed reproductive choice, regarding it as the foundational cornerstone of women's empowerment.
她始終不遺餘力地倡導生育選擇權,視其為女性賦權之根本基石。
Steinem did not embark upon her path of activism until after her thirtieth year, yet the seeds of her advocacy had been sown as early as 1969—when, at a conference deliberating upon women's reproductive rights, the myriad narratives she encountered imbued her with such profound fortitude that she ultimately resolved to speak publicly, candidly recounting her own clandestine abortion procured in London at the tender age of twenty-two.
史坦於而立之年過後方轉入行動主義之途,然其先聲早在1969年即已埋下——彼時她參與一場探討女性墮胎權之會議,席間所聞諸多敘事賦予她莫大勇氣,終使她毅然公開現身說法,坦述自己年方廿二時於倫敦祕密施行墮胎之親身經歷。
At that juncture, abortion remained an unlawful act across the greater part of the United States.
彼時,墮胎在美國大部分地區仍屬違法之舉。
It was only in 1965, within the landmark case of Griswold v. Connecticut, that the Supreme Court had established the constitutional safeguard of the right to contraception.

依據美國勞工統計局之統計數據,彼時勞動力市場中女性之占比尚不及半數。
The dismissal of a woman on grounds of pregnancy was legally justifiable, a state of affairs that persisted until the enactment and implementation of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act in 1978 brought it to an end.
僱主因女性妊娠而將其解僱,於法理上具有正當性,此一態勢直至1978年《懷孕歧視法》之頒布施行方告終結。
Banks, when women applied for credit cards, frequently demanded that a male serve as a co-signatory to furnish surety.
銀行於女性申辦信用卡之際,屢屢要求男性擔任連帶簽署人,以資擔保。
Moreover, among the seats in Congress, women occupied merely eleven, a paltry number indeed.
而國會席次之中,女性僅佔十一位,實屬寥寥。
The prevailing socioeconomic landscape has undergone a fundamental transformation.

The labour force participation rate among women aged twenty and above hovers at approximately 58%, whereas for those within the prime working-age bracket of twenty-five to fifty-four, the employment ratio ascends markedly to 77%.
二十歲以上女性的勞動參與率約莫維持在58%的水準,而處於二十五至五十四歲黃金工作年齡層的女性,其就業比例更顯著攀升至77%。
Looking back to the Equal Credit Opportunity Act of 1974 — legislation ardently championed by the scant handful of female legislators then serving in Congress — it explicitly stipulates that denying a woman a credit card or loan on the grounds of sex constitutes an unlawful practice.
回溯1974年頒布的《平等信用機會法》——此項立法係由當時國會中屈指可數的女性議員所積極倡議推動——其明文規定,基於性別因素而拒絕女性申辦信用卡或貸款的舉措,已屬違法行為。
As of the present day, the hallowed halls of Congress accommodate a total of 152 female members.
時至今日,國會殿堂內共有152位女性議員。

Squire of the Heritage Foundation candidly concedes that, notwithstanding his advocacy for a demarcation of traditional gender roles, he would never call into question women's rights to property, credit, suffrage, or employment.
傳統基金會的史奎爾斯坦言,即便他倡導傳統性別角色之分野,亦絕不會對女性擁有財產、信貸、投票或工作之權利提出任何質疑。
Even so, certain loci of power deliberately amplify the most extreme ideological voices.
即便如此,某些權力核心仍刻意放大最為極端的意識形態聲浪。
By way of illustration, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth shared a video chronicle centered on Christian nationalist congregations, in which several pastors openly proclaimed that women ought to be wholly divested of their suffrage—a move that promptly ignited a firestorm, eliciting vehement condemnation across the social spectrum.
舉例而言,國防部長皮特·赫格塞斯轉發了一段聚焦於基督教民族主義教會的影像紀錄,其中多位牧師公然宣稱女性應被徹底剝奪投票權,此舉旋即引發軒然大波,激起社會各界的強烈譴責。
Professor Beth Allison Barr, a historian of women at Baylor University, observes that within the cognitive framework of the religious right, the feminist movement fundamentally subverts the so-called 'sacred' paradigm—namely, the father as the family's guide and protector—and incites women to place their own desires above their husbands and children.
貝勒大學專研女性歷史的教授貝絲·艾莉森·巴爾指出,於宗教右翼的認知框架而言,女權運動從根本上顛覆了所謂「神聖」的典範——即父親作為家庭的引領者與庇護者——並慫恿女性將自身慾求凌駕於丈夫與子女之上。
"The two have thus become irreconcilably antithetical: to be a devout believer is to forfeit any claim to the mantle of feminist."
「此二者遂成水火不容之勢:欲為虔誠信徒,便無以自居女性主義者。」
Women's advocacy groups issue a grave admonition that, whether through the curtailment of reproductive autonomy or the stigmatization of feminism as an erosion of the familial institution, the fundamental malaise lies in the systematic attenuation of women's agency, thereby divesting them of the prerogative to autonomously chart the trajectory of their own lives.
女性倡議團體嚴正警示,無論是對生育自主權的箝制,抑或將女權運動汙名化為對家庭體制的侵蝕,其根本癥結皆在於系統性地削弱女性的能動性,剝奪其自主抉擇人生軌跡的權利。
Fatima Goss Graves, the chief executive of the National Women's Law Center, contends that the initiatives championed by progressives—such as expanding and extending paid family leave and rendering childcare services more financially accessible—are, at their core, measures designed to buttress familial structures and alleviate the burdens of child-rearing, with the dual objective of facilitating a smoother parenting journey and ensuring that women are not compelled to make an untenable choice between career advancement and economic autonomy.
全國婦女法律中心執行長法蒂瑪·戈斯·格雷夫斯指出,進步派所提出的諸如擴大並延長有薪家事假、提供更為經濟上可負擔之托育服務等倡議,其本質實為支持家庭結構、減輕育兒負擔之舉措,旨在使育兒過程更為順遂,同時確保女性無須在事業發展與經濟自主之間被迫做出取捨。
Notwithstanding the profound setback of Roe v. Wade's overturning, alongside the as-yet-unrealized aspirations of the Equal Rights Amendment movement, Estelle Freedman, a professor of women's history at Stanford University, nonetheless contends that the momentum of the American feminist movement has become so deeply woven into the fabric of modern life that its trajectory "may well prove beyond the capacity of any force to arrest."
儘管歷經羅訴韋德案遭推翻之重大挫敗,以及平等權利修正案運動等懸而未決之志業,史丹佛大學女性歷史學教授埃斯特爾·弗里德曼仍斷言,美國女權運動之動能已深植於現代生活肌理之中,其勢「恐非人力所能遏止」。
Friedman observes that, from the dawn of the nineteenth century, the feminist movement "has traversed phases of mobilization and attainment, as well as periods of backlash and setback," yet throughout this protracted trajectory, "there has perpetually persisted an unbroken process of reconfiguration and profound introspection, which has rendered it ever more formidable."
弗里德曼指出,自十九世紀肇始之際,女權運動「歷經了動員與收穫之階段,亦曾遭遇反撲與挫敗之時期」,然在此漫長進程中,「始終存在著不間斷的重組與深刻反思,使其日益壯大」。
"As I set pen to paper, the world appears to have descended into a state of chaos.
「當我落筆之際,寰宇似已淪入混沌之境。
Many minds harbour the profound apprehension that the progress we have forged is encountering an undertow that threatens to capsize it.
眾多心靈深感吾輩所締造之進展,正遭逢逆流而瀕臨傾覆。
Should you be so fortunate as to have weathered the vicissitudes of time and attained a longevity akin to mine, then your duty as an elder lies in gently admonishing humanity to recall the vast distance we have traversed," she wrote.
倘若汝有幸如我這般歷經滄桑而壽數綿長,則汝身為耆宿之責,便在於諄諄提醒世人:吾等已然跋涉多遠,」她如是書寫。
"It is precisely owing to this sweeping and momentous movement that the majority of beings across the globe have now borne witness to the visages of female astronauts, union leaders, tillers of the soil, liberation fighters, and architects of peace."
「正因這場波瀾壯闊之運動,寰宇間大多數生靈,如今皆曾親睹女性太空人、工會領袖、農耕者、解放鬥士,以及和平締造者之身影。」
